Whether I’m in my stilettos working in PR or bare-feet teaching yoga, I am me. Both yoga and working in PR has cultivated a sense of awareness and ability to recognize what is important in my life.

Prioritizing my practice has been the single-most beneficial factor that has enriched my own teaching. This means carving out time to get on my mat as much as I can, which is almost every day.

Chaturanga Dandasana or four-limbed staff. It’s the yoga version of a push-up/plank, which requires balance, control, stability and strength. It a challenging pose but it becomes much easier when the rest of the body pitches in. The same thing in life, challenges will always be there, but learning how to be still, strong are skills we need to practice.

My yoga practice has evolved over the years and still evolving. Finding your own style can be difficult. However, when you find your dharma (life’s purpose) and you are able to teach from this place of connection, then your teaching style will eventually shine through.

Yes – I think we all are practicing yoga to find answers we have not yet found. The more I practice, the more I find out about my life’s purpose. It’s a journey inside myself seeking for truth about who I am and why I am here.

Yoga is never a physical practice to me. It’s a spiritual journey. If you come to the yoga practice with goals to loss weight and solid handstand, then it will only take you to the most superficial level of the practice. If you practice for health benefits, you will certainly feel better, but even this is not the true depth within the context of yoga.

Find the practice that resonates with you.

The key to connecting with your mind, body, and spirit through yoga is to match your practice with your personality and your physical needs. First, ask yourself the reasons for practicing. Are you looking to sweat your way into a lean form, or yoga’s restorative benefits? Are you searching for spiritual experience?

The truth is, you may not even know what you’re looking for until you start trying on styles. So, try different classes and teachers, see what works for you. You will quickly discover the right match to suit your needs.

Be mindful of how your body feels during and after the practice. You should feel more relaxed, open, and grounded in your body after class, not more stressed and disconnected. If you can become more aware of your own needs for centering, then I think you found the style that fits you. The best indicator of a good fit is when you feel inspired and you’ll want to take the class again.

Even if you only do one pose a day, you will make a huge difference in your body, brain, and well-being.

People start to understand that yoga does not adhere to any particular religion, belief system or community. Anyone who practices yoga with involvement can reap its benefits, irrespective of one’s faith, ethnicity or culture.

Thanks to the increasing awareness of the benefits of yoga, yoga practice has become popular in the Middle East cultural landscape especially in Dubai. People began to be awakened and seek for deeper meaning of life — a more fulfilling calling. People are realising they need work-life balance and try yoga as a new way to exercise and reduce stress, which the common understanding of yoga as a therapy or exercise system for health and fitness. But, as they develop a practice, they start to recognize and address the imbalances in their bodies, minds and lifestyles—and many also start to evaluate how to make positive changes into their lives. And as they continue the practice, people start to experience the real meaning of yoga, which is about harmonizing oneself with the universe. Yoga is a spiritual discipline based on an extremely subtle science, which focuses on bringing harmony between mind and body. It is an art and science of healthy living.

Well …staying grounded … my greatest accomplishment is sitting where I am right now, feeling the joy of being alive. In my 20s, I was very focused on building up work experience and chasing stability, and later being able to travel around the world.

Now, I’m at the point in my career and in my personal life where I’m content where I am in the world. I’m am dedicated to giving back to people and helping them to grow.

Coming to the awareness that if we continue to discover who we are and act in service to others from an inner knowing and expression of our purpose then these are the highest forms of life fulfilment.

Set your intention on the spiritual journey of yoga.
